Biography

Bruce was signed from Sunnybank in mid September 1967 after scoring a hat trick as a trialist in a Division Two match against Cowdenbeath. He would form an outstanding partnership with Jimmy Jack for the rest of the 1967-68 campaign, scoring 32 competitive goals in 38 appearances while Jack scored 35 times as the club won promotion to Division One. He continued as a regular in our front line alongside Jack up until the summer of 1971 when Jack was sold to Falkirk and Bruce began to get less game time during the 1971-72 season prior to his sale to Forfar Athletic in February 1972.
